I was thinking so abstractly about time, but I need to create a real object, so I need to be more realistic with my thoughts. I have been thinking so much about what I have wanted my calendar to be, that I have wasted a lot of time. I originally didn't want my calendar to be dispensable, but then I started to think about the negative space here. I thought, why not embrace that which I was trying to get away from? Why not chose the concept Wasted Time? So I began thinking of waste.
I thought immediately of toilet paper. Waste. Every day goes down the drain, like crap leaving the toilet bowl. Why not make a calendar from a roll of toilet paper? Everyday you get one square of charmin. But I need to think about waste more, and do more research about what is waste. Its garbage. Time wasted. Trash bags are the ultimate symbol of waste. Everyday we throw stuff away, and we don't even think about it. Imagine if you you buy your garbage bags in bulk, (the mini bags, because thats what I use) and every day throw out junk, and you watch the year go buy in trash. Haste makes Waste, they say.

and the cool thing about this is if you limit the waste you make the more time you will seem to have on your hands, not throwing things away
